hi,
im new to this sorta stuff, so does anybody have any instructions for building a simple PIC programmer? i need it to be able to program a
Pic 16f84A for use in this project https://www.electro-tech-online.com/threads/digital-electronic-industry-free-stuff.7343/
(the second one with the common anode) id also like the programing software to be as simple as possible thanx for your help

Hi,
I second Nigel's suggestion. If you look through this forum you will find MANY queries regarding programmers and associated problems. Try and stay away from serial port programmers ( very tempramental and problematic! ) and go for a parallel port programmer. I built the p16pro40 programmer kit and it worked from day one without any problems at all. ( Did treat myself to a zif socket! ) I also have a serial port programmer which works fine as well and off my laptop but maybe I am just lucky! ( http://www.talkingelectronics.com ) The software is also important and with the p16pro40 I use winpicprog ( On Nigel Goodwin's site http://www.winpicprog.co.uk ) with no problems at all. IF you decide to go the serial programmer route, icprog software works well.
Barry.
